Beginner animator looking for work to gain more experience in this field. I am 20 years old and based out of San Diego, California. My software includes Animaker. A cheap and simple way to make animations. I hope to hear back from any of you very soon, till then remember what's most important in animation... the emotions and the ideas being portrayed. Energy and emotion is key to animation. Ralph Bakshi, an American director of animated and live-action films, between 1972 and 2015, had once said this in an interview.
